i-Racer is a Bluetooth enabled Windows Phone 8 application that will control a Dagu i-Racer remote control model car.

I posted a short video of the first working prototype of my app to control the Dagu i-Racer remote control car on youtube. No it didn’t go viral but at the time of this writing it’s the most widely viewed nerding of mine in any of the social media with a whopping 1,303 views. I’ve lost a lot of sleep over that one thumbs down – out of eleven. (hi mom)

I’ve also published the source code on GitHub. It’s probably the simplest app _ever_ to use MVVM Light. I don’t even begin to know how to program in code behind. ;)

[Note To Self: I think a series on MVVM frameworks would be interesting. I've heard a number of good things about MVVM Light, I personally have used Caliburn.Micro on a number of projects and I know there's more out there of interest. While not "fun" as in building WP8 apps that let you remote control cars and such, if they help us focus on what is fun, our specific problems we're trying to solve, then that's still fun in by book ...]
